    Here's a little more detail. All canes were made by Takagen of Ginza

    1936 May The early straight version was commissioned by the Wounded Veteran's Care Org
    It was given to the wounded and the blind
    1940 July The above organization was abolished, so the next version was commissioned by
    the Ministry of the Army. There were two versions (one with a brown stick for War
    Injured and one with a white stick for the blind)
    1941 March The navy followed suit and commissioned its own version

    The above info comes from the Manufacturer itself. Although the blind ironically got more spot light, other wounds also seem to have qualified. The hair-splitting details of wounds that qualified should be in the archives, but I think I have dug up enough already.

            Yes its the one I purchased. Had planed on keeping the set but I received a strong offer for it and let it go. Will help add a nice helmet to my collection. Wish I could keep it all.

              Yes I noticed. Same seller with your flag as well. Be interesting to see if cane even sells at that opening estimate
